This article is missing information about Pao Fa Lien and Hung Suen lineages still incomplete. Refer to Chu 2015 and other reliable sources. Please expand the article to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page. (October 2021)

There are at least eight distinct lineages of Wing Chun, these are mostly little-known outside of the Peoples Republic of China, and each has its own history of origin. In the West, Wing Chun's history has become a mix of fact and fiction due to the impacts of early secrecy and modern marketing. Additionally, there are competing genealogies within the same branch or about the same individual teacher.^[1]

The different branches of the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun can be thought of as describing both the differing traditions and interpretations of Wing Chun, and the teacher-student relationships which perpetuate them.^[2]

Ip Man [edit]

History [edit]

This lineage has a legend in which a nun Ng Mui saw a fight between a crane and a snake. She incorporated their fighting styles into her Shaolin Kung Fu to develop an unnamed style. She taught this to one of her students Yim Wing Chun, she taught her husband Leung Bok-Chao who named the style Wing Chun Kuen (Wing Chun boxing) in his wife's honour and who passed it to Leung Lan-Kwai of the Red Boat Opera Company (although other versions of this legend state that he was a scholar and herbalist), who passed it on to Wong Wa-Bo and Leung Yee-Tai both of the Red Boat Opera, and who both taught the herbalist Leung Jan.

Leung Jan passed it on to his two sons Leung Chun and Leung Bik plus other students who included Chan Wah-Shun, who taught his own students including Yip Man.^[3]

In another legend Yip Man was attending school in Hong Kong during the 1910s, where he was invited by a friend to challenge a highly skilled old man. Yip Man did not win and the old man was Leung Bik. Yip Man studied under Leung Bik for a few years before returning home to Foshan where he opened his own school. His students there have passed on his style which is still taught in Foshan today.^[3]

Yip Man moved to Hong Kong in 1949, his was the first Wing Chun system to be taught publicly, and it has grown to become one of the most popular of the Chinese martial arts.^[3] A claim that his eldest son Yip Chun is the only inheritor of Yip Man's system is disputed by a number of Wing Chun schools, including those in Foshan.^[4]

Lineage [edit]

Ng Mui → Yim Wing-chun → Leung Bok-Chao → Leung Lan-Kwai → Wong Wah-Bo (and Leung Yee-Tai) → Leung Jan → Chan Wah-Shun & Leung Bik → Ip Man

Ip man's students [edit]

Lo Man Kam, Wong Shun Leung, Bruce Lee, Victor Kan Wah Chit, Ip Chun, William Cheung and Moy Yat.

Features [edit]

Per Chu, Ritchie and Wu - Yip Man Wing Chun is known for its simplicity, directness, economy of motion and encapsulation of the essential Wing Chun principles.^[5]

Yuen Kay-San [edit]

History [edit]

• According to this lineage, the "true founders of Wing Chun remain lost in time", with lineage originating from Read Boat Opera.^[6]
• Yuen Kay-San was a master in the martial art of Wing Chun, who lived from 1889 to 1956, known as an undefeated champion of 1000 death duels in Foshan during the 1920-1950s. The fifth of five brothers, he became known as "Foshan Yuen Lo Jia" (Yuen the Fifth of Foshan). Yuen Kay Shan combined the Wing Chun of both of his teachers, constable Fok Bo Chuen, and body guard and bounty hunter Fung Siu Ching.^{[ citation needed ]}
• Currently the Yuen Kay-San lineage is centred at Guangzhou and spearheaded by Grandmaster Sum Nung.^[7]

Features [edit]

Additional emphasis on use of knives, six and a half point pole and throwing darts.^{[ citation needed ]}

Notable Alumni [edit]

Sum Nung

Gu Lao Village / Forty Points Wing Chun [edit]

History [edit]

This branch was taught by Leung Jan when he retired back to his native village of Gu Lao in Heshan County, Guangdong province and is typically referred to by the village name to distinguish it from the doctor's Foshan teachings. Leung Jan grows weary of inactivity while in retirement and chooses to teach a small group of students in a new variation of Wing Chun that focuses on short drills.

To learn a single form from now elderly Leung Jan, the villagers needed to pay a significant amount of money to even learn a single form. Tam Yeung was one of the Leung Jan's students who would learn this system in entirety.^[8]

Features [edit]

• The Gu Lao Wing Chun is referred to as Forty Points Wing Chun.^[8]
• Guo Lao Wing Chun uses 40^[8] short drills which are a loose expression and application of Wing Chun. It functions like normal Wing Chun, only deviating in ways it is taught.^[8]

Notable alumni [edit]

Tam Yeung, Kwan Jong-Yuen, Robert Chu

Nanyang / Cao Dean [edit]

History [edit]

According to this lineage of Wing Chun, the art was conceived at Red Boat Opera, being based off the knowledge of both Jee Shim (presenting "Always Spring" variation) and Ng Mui (presenting "Praise Spring" variation).^[9]

Red Boat Opera performer identified as "Painted Face Kam" would pass his Wing Chun knowledge to Cho Duk-sang, who came from a family known for Hung Ga Kuen. Duk-san would be the first to venture outside the family martial art. The branch pioneer Cao Dean (Cho Dan-ok, unrelated to Duk-sang)^{[ citation needed ]} became student of Cho Duk-sang after getting beaten in an altercation. Under elder Cho, Dean would eventually master Wing Chun as a young adult.^[10]

Cao Dean initially taught Wing Chun at Hong Kong, but unemployment forced him to move to Malaysia for the second time in his life. There, he would become a chef specializing in Cantonese cuisine. Word of Cao Dean's martial arts prowess started to perpetuate, with locals wanting to learn Cao Dean's art. He initially began teaching smaller groups, but as willing students grew in numbers, Cao Dean would establish a dedicated Wing Chun school - first in Malay peninsula.^[10]

Cao Dean died in 1980s, being over 90 years old. Cao Dean's lineage was succeeded by S.Y Liu and others. However, circa 2015, S.Y Liu is no longer involved in martial arts. Presently Nanyang lineage is mainly headed by Y.Wu in Singapore and Sydney, Australia.^[10]

Nanyang Wing Chun contains many forms and concepts. It has great amount of techniques, ranging from striking, joint-locks, throws and weapon techniques.^[11]

Pan Nam [edit]

History [edit]

According to this lineage, Wing Chun was a yet unnamed martial art that conceived by anti-Qing Empire Tiandihui, being combination of various Shaolin martial arts, such as Taijiquan, Ying Jow Pai, Tong Long Quan^[a] gum gang jeung, Chin Na and other martial arts.^[12]

A Siu Lam nun known as Yat Chum Um Jee (Speck of Dust, Founder of Convent) would establish a convent in Hengshan, where she taught the nameless style to select students. Of these students was a man nicknamed "Tan Sao Ng" who handled costumes of Hunanese Opera Company. Subsequently, he fled Hunan to Foshan. There, Tan Sao Ng's students would train following students: Wong Wah-bo, Leung Yee-tai, Dai Fan Min Kam and Lai Fook-shun. In this lineage, the "Wing" in Wing Chun comes from Chan Wing-wah, one of the founders of Hongmen.

Branch founder Pan Nam initially studied Hung Gar from 1934 to 1947 until he met Jiu Chow - top student of Chan Yiu Men, son of Chan Wah-Shun. From there, he officially began his Wing Chun Kuen training. His classmates included Leung Lam, Jiu Wan, Lee Shing, Wong Jing and other semi-famous Wing Chun masters. Jiu Chow had to relocate to Chungshan, and Pan followed him to continue training.

In 1949 Pan Nam moved back to Fatshan and started teaching at the "Union of cake industry workers of Fatshan". In either 1956 or 1957, Pan Nam attended Guangdong Provincial martial arts competition, where he was introduced to Lai Hip Chai a classmate of Ng Chun So, Yip Man and Chan Yiu Men, who was the second to last student accepted by Chan Wah Shun (Yip Man being the last). Lai Hip Chai had not only learned from Chan, but also from Lok Lan Goon's nephew.

Lai Hip-chi died in 1970. Pam Nam continued teachning Wing Chun in Foshan until his death in December 1995. Eddie Chong was Pang's final student, who bought his system to USA in early 1990s. Chong has been vital in helping preserve Pan Nam style Wing Chun.^[13]

Has a set named "Five Petal Plum Flower" a classic five part exercise set for tendon strength. Incorporates a partner practice known as Waist Pressing, a Push Hands-like exercise where the partners try to off balance one another.^[16]

Pao Fa Lien [edit]

This section needs expansion with: Information available from Chu 2015. You can help by adding to it. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. (November 2021)

History [edit]

This lineage of Wing Chun originates from a unspecified Shaolin Temple. Following the destruction of the temple at the hands of the Qing Empire, the survivors swore to use their knowledge to destroy them. According to this lineage, the name Wing Chun is a shortened form of the revolutionary motto "Wing yun chi jee; Mo mong Hon Juk; Dai dei wu chun." A secret code that allowed the anti-Qing revolutionaries to recognize each other. Eventually, the codeword was shortened to Wing Chun (Always Spring.)^[17]

Because of the secrecy of the anti-Qing rebellious activities, the exact details of Wing Chun's development were lost. At the turn of the 19th century, a monk identified as Dai Dong Fong emerged to support the anti-Qing rebellion. His martial skills earned the terror of Manchurian armies and as a result, the Qing authorities wished to apprehend Dai Dong Fong.^[17]

He would settle in Qingyuan, Guangdong where he encountered the Tse brothers - Tse Gwok-Leung and Tse Gwok Cheung- who were Mandarins reluctantly fighting for the Qing government and took Dai Dong Fong to safety. In return for their kindness and seeing their good character, Dai Dong Fong taught the brothers his martial art, Wing Chun.^[18]

Dai Dong Fong would eventually leave to travel to northern China. Subsequently, the Tse borthers adopted an infant by the name of Lao Dat-sang. As a young man, Lao Dat Sang was an earnest woodworker, who earned various nicknames related to his line of work - eventually earning the famous nickname Pao Fa Lien or "Wood Planer Lien".^[18]

Features [edit]

Pao Fa Lien branch is unique for its emphasis on weapon-based combat. Contains 28 forms. 10 forms are dedicated for bare-handed fighting, with rest meant for weapon-based fighting and/or wooden dummy practice. Includes a kwan-dao form, that is not practised in other major lineages.^[19]

Hung Suen / Hung Gu Biu [edit]

History [edit]

According to the legend of this lineage, before the destruction of the Shaolin temple the system called Wing Chun had already been developed there from generations of martial arts knowledge. To prevent Wing Chun from being misused, it was passed down to only a few disciples and was not documented.^[20]

During Manchurian massacres, two Siu Lam monks managed to flee; Yat Chum Dai Chi and his pupil, Cheung Ng. Before his death, Yat Chum Dai Si passed his full knowledge on Cheung Ng. Cheung Ng joined Red Boat Opera Company in order to keep his identity as a Siu Lam monk hidden, and to evade the Manchurian government. Within Red Boat Opera, Cheung Ng would become known as Tan Sao Ng, because of his martial arts mastery. Cheung Ng would come in contact with Hung Gu Biu, who was a secret society leader and successfully recruited Cheung Ng and became his student. To protect the true identity of Cheung Ng, they conceived the Ng Mui legend - in which a Siu Lam abbess would teach a girl named Yim Wing Chun the former's martial arts style.^[20]

The "Yim Wing Chun" name was chosen for specific reasons, as Yim could be understood as word for "Secret" or "Protected", and "Wing Chun" referring to Siu Lam Wing Chun Tong (the Always Spring Hall). With "Yim Wing Chun" being a secret code for "the secret art of Siu Lam Wing CHun Hall."^[20]

Hung Gu Biu was among the first generation of Wing Chun students under Cheung Ng. The other students of the first generation were Wong Wah-bo, Leung Yee-Tai, Dai Fa Min Kam, Lo Man-Gong, Siu-Sang Hung Fook and Gao Lo Chung. Each of these students - based on their individual understanding of what Cheung Ng taught - would pass on their own renditions of Wing Chun, each having their own lineages with distinct emphasized elements.^[20]

Branch pioneer Hung Gu Biu's lineage would become known as Hung Suen Wing Chun. This lineage only passed down Wing Chun to their own family members, who would take a ceremonial oath of secrecy.^[20]

Lineage [edit]

Siu Lam Temple (where Wing Chun was already conceived at) → Yat Chum Dai Chi → Cheung Ng → Hung Gu Biu → Cheung Gung → Wang Ting → Dr. Wang Ming → Garrett Gee (Chu King-Hung)

Features [edit]

Hung Suen Wing Chun aims to educate its students more on Wing Chun's underlying concepts, principles and theories over individual techniques.^[21]

Jee Shim / Weng Chun [edit]

Grandmaster Chu Chung Man is identified as an integral part of this lineage

History [edit]

According to the legend of this lineage, Wing Chun descends from Jee Shim, an abbot of the Shaolin Temple.^[22] Here, Jee Shim escaped with other Siu Lam Temple monks and would eventually settle as a cook aboard Red Boat Opera Company. Jee Shim's style was passed on Wong Wah-bo and Sun Kam (alias Dai Fa Nim or Painted Face Kam).

While in Foshan looking for new costumes, Sun Kam would get into an altercation with Fung Siu-ching, an apprentice of a local tailor. After defeating Fung, the latter would become Sun Kam's apprentice at Red Boat and learn Wing Chun. Subsequently, Fung Siu-ching would become a bounty hunter and would teach Jee Shim Wing Chun to various students.^[23]

In 1995, Andreas Hoffman was certified as a successor of Jee Shim Wing Chun.^[24]

Lineage [edit]

Chi Sim → Sun Kam (Painted-Face Kam) → Fung Siu-Ching

Fung Siu-Ching → Dong Suen → Dong Yik → Way Yan

Fung Siu-Ching → Unspecified students → Lo Chiu-Wan & Lo Hong-Tai → Way Yan

Fung Siu-Ching → Dong Jit → Chu Chong-Man → Way Yan

Way Yan → Cheng Kwong → Andreas Hoffman (current head)

Features [edit]

This lineage contains techniques that deviate from contemporary Wing Chun, that was passed down by Ng Mui and/or Leung Bok-chao. The difference is pronounced enough that the Wing Chun style of this lineage is considered its own martial art, Weng Chun.^{[25] [26] [ page needed ] [27] [28] [ page needed ]} This view is supported by Ip Man lineage.^{[29] [30]}

Other notable Wing Chun branches [edit]

Law-family / Snake-Pattern Wing Chun [edit]

This lineage was originates from Leung Bok-Chau, husband of Yim Wing Chun. When at Kwangsi, Leung Bok-chau taught his martial art to Law Man Gung, who was kung fu brother of Leung Lan Kwai.^[31] Law Man Gung would pass down the knowledge to Fok Bo Chuen, who would be one of the Wing Chun teachers of Yuen brothers.^[31] This lineage doesn't exist as its own lineage anymore. Elements of this lineage are mainly continued by Yuen Chai-wan and Yiu Choi/Yiu Kai lineages and has a strong presence in Vietnamese Wing Chun.^[31]

Lineage [edit]

Leung Bok-Chau → Law Man Gung → Fok Bo Chuen

Technique [edit]

Per Leung Ting, the Snake-pattern technique is quite soft and imitates the movements of a snake. The Snake-pattern Wing Chun only contains a single bare-handed form, Siu Lin Tao (which is not the Siu Nim Tao.) The Double broadswords used by this lineage appear more machete-like than usual Wing Chun knives.^[31]

Yuen Chai Wan / Nguyen Te-Cong / Vietnamese Wing Chun [edit]

Gu Lao - Pien San Wing Chun / Side Body Wing Chun [edit]

Originates from Leung Jan's Gu Lao Wing Chun.^[36] Wong Wah Saam was 23 years old when he became Leung Jan's student, but Leung Jan died quite early in Wong's training. Wong is the originator of Fung-family variation of Gu Lao Wing Chun.^[37]

Focuses on moving to the side of the attacking opponent for offense and defense. This is contrary to most other styles of Wing Chun, especially of Ip Man's lineage.^[38] It utilizes 36 small drills,^[38] compared to the 40 Point System of main Gu Lao Wing Chun.

Jiu Wan [edit]

Jiu Wan first taught Wing Chun at Jing Mo Gwun, a school in Foshan, China. When the Communists took over China, he moved to Hong Kong where he continued to teach. Jiu Wan's relationship with Yip Man is controversial among students of both branches. Some students of Jiu Wan maintain^[39] he studied under his cousin and later under Yip Man. Yip Man students claim that as well. Jason Lau's branch of Jiu Wan^[40] claim they were kung fu brothers directly under Chan Wah Shun.

Notable alumni: Ti Lung (Tam Fu-Wing)

Sum Nung [edit]

Sum Nung was one of Yuen Kay Shan's notable students. According to the history passed down from the predecessors, Wing Chun was created by the famous Bhuddist Nun Ng Mui of the Fujian Putian Shaolin Temple. She later passed to Miu Shun, and from Miu Shun passed to Yim Yi. Yim then taught his daughter Yim Wing-Chun, who later taught her husband Leung Bok-To. Leung enjoyed Chinese opera, and met Wong Wa-Bo, Leung Yi-Tai, Luk Gum (commonly known as "Dai Fa Min Gum", translated as "the Painted Face"), and Go Lo-Jung at the Red Boat Opera Group. Therefore, as a friendly gesture Leung passed the Wing Chun skills to these four, as well as another friend Fok Bo-Chuen.

While Luk Gum taught the famous county constable Fung Siu-Ching; Fok passed his knowledge to Yuen Kay-San (in his later years, Fung also taught Yuen Kay-San as well). Sum Nung was originally under the tutelage of another master Cheung Bo. He was later recommended by Cheung to further his training under Yuen Kay-San. In 1948, Sum Nung left Foshan and was able to open a medical hall and a martial arts hall in Guangzhou. In 1989 he founded the "Guangzhou Wing Chun Association", and was dubbed "the Father of Guangzhou Wing Chun". His students are now located all over the world.^{[41] [ better source needed ] [ promotional language ]}

Sum Jee [edit]

Sum Jee was Sum Nung's uncle, and the Sum Jee lineage is a major sublineage of the Sum Nung's. In addition to teaching Wing Chun, Sum Jee also integrated his many years of Hung Kuen skills into a set of exercises in which it interacts with Wing Chun, so that the apprentices can experience how Wing Chun would interact with foreign boxing techniques.^{[ citation needed ]}

Sum Jee Wing Chun Academy upholds tradition, and everything starts with basic skills. After firmly establishing the roots, one then learns empty hand forms and progress to Chi Sao, gradually learning more advanced techniques.^{[41] [ promotional language ]}

Cho family [edit]

The Cho family of Poon Yu Village (near Shunde and Foshan) have been practitioners of southern fist systems, such as Choy Lai Fut, Hung Gar, Mok Gar, and White Crane, for many years. Cho Shun joined the King Fa Wui Goon and became an Operatic performer/actor. He became the first known disciple of Wing Chun practitioner Yik Kam.^{[ citation needed ]}

Fut Sao / Buddha Hand [edit]

Fut Sao Wing Chun Kuen was introduced by Henry Leung "Chi-Man" (Leung Hung-Lay) in New York City back in the early 1960s. The Chinese martial art system was named after GM Leung's Teacher the renowned Chán Buddhist master Hsu Yun aka "Ghao Ji Fut Sao". Different students of Leung Chi-Man report different origins for the system, including it descended from Fung Siu Ching, Leung Bik, Chan Wah Shun, Miáo Xiǎn (Miu Sun), Xu Yun Hsu Yun, and Leung Chan Sang aka Dr Leung Jan. The Buddhist Wing Chun system can be traced back to the provinces of Kwang Chow Guangzhou, and or Canton Foshan well over 200 years ago.^{[ citation needed ]}

Techniques: Fut Sao has seven forms, and various other drills, or exercises. The forms consist of siu lum dao, chum kiu, biu gee, siu baat qua, mook yun jong, bat cham dao, and luk dim boon kwun.^{[ citation needed ]}

Notable alumni: James Cama

Unique variants [edit]

Besides main lineages, there are highly specialized variations of Wing Chun system that have spawned from these lineages.

Traditional Wing Chun (TWC) [edit]

Advocated by William Cheung. This variant is specifically managed by Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Association (GTWCKFA)

Practical Wing Chun [edit]

Advocated by Wan Kam Leung, student of Wong Shun-leung.^{[42] [ additional citation(s) needed ]}

Jun Fan Gung Fu [edit]

This article is about Bruce Lee's systemized Wing Chun variant from 1962. For Bruce Lee's "Anti-style" philosophy/system, see Jeet Kune Do.

Wing Chun variation conceived by Bruce Lee in 1962, before his creation of Jeet Kune Do. It is based on Ip Man lineage of Wing Chun, as Lee was instructed Ip Man and his senior student Wong Shun-leung.^{[43] [44] [45]} Following the 1964 encounter with Wong Jack Man, Bruce Lee would distance himself from Jun Fan Gung Fu, seeing that the reason why he failed to properly defeat Wong Jack Man was because he let guidelines of his own system compromise aliveness.^{[46] [47]} In response to this, Bruce Lee ordered the closure of all Jun Fan Gung Fu schools, and instead focused on a new combat philosophy known as Jeet Kune Do.

Regardless, Taky Kimura and select other early students of Bruce Lee would preserve Jun-Fan Gung Fu in its original form, after Lee had abandoned it.^{[48] [ page needed ]} Wing Chun and/or Jun-Fan Gung Fu and its concepts are still taught in various Jeet Kune Do systems.

Features [edit]

Jun Fan Gung Fu utilizes various Wing Chun concepts of Ip Man lineage, but deviates by favouring Savate-like kicks.^{[ citation needed ]}

Arnett Sport Kung Fu [edit]

Conceived by Anthony Arnett, student of William Cheung.
